Satele gets tryout with Jets, Rocky to 49ers

After a deal with the Oakland Raiders fell through, Brashton Satele is now headed East for a tryout with the New York Jets.

Although Satele signed a contract, which included a bonus, the Raiders did not finalize the deal. The Jets then called, inviting Satele for an audition.

Mike Smith, who was a UH grad assistant tutoring the linebackers last year, is now an assistant with the Jets.

Spencer Smith said to make sure I write that defensive end Paipai Falemalu and linebacker Corey Paredes are the faces of the UH football team.

Former UH defensive tackle Rocky Savaiigaea will participate in the San Francisco 49ers' mini camp this weekend in Santa Clara, Calif. If Savaiigaea is successful in his tryout, he hopes to earn a free-agent contract.
